HaRoman HaZa'ir publishing was founded in Hungary in the 1930s by the Jewish-Hungarian journalist Miklosh (Moshe) Fargo. This publishing house specialized in popular literature, first translated from German to Hungarian and later published original Hungarian literature. In 1939, Miklosh immigrated to Palestine with his two sons, Avraham and Yisrael and intended to continue publishing books in Hebrew. The first booklets were edited by the poet Avigdor HaMe'iri, however due to his high register of language, he left after a short while (these booklets present HaMe'iri as "the literary consultant"). The booklets were very popular during the British Mandate and in the nascent State of Israel under its new title HaKulmus.
